Estimating output mix effectiveness: An applied scenario approach for the Armed Forces
(2019)The ability of public sector policy makers to prioritize has a huge impact on the effectiveness of public service provision. Public services can take the form of final outputs demanded by consumers or of intermediate outputs ... -
Control Plane Performance in Tactical Software Defined Networks
(2019)Software Defined Networking can be beneficial in tactical networks to increase flexibility, provide programmability and to simplify management. The immense dynamics in tactical communication networks can, however, lead to ... -
Automating Event-B invariant proofs by rippling and proof patching
(2019-01-02)The use of formal method techniques can contribute to the production of more reliable and dependable systems. However, a common bottleneck for industrial adoption of such techniques is the needs for interactive proofs. We ... -
Publish/Subscribe Versus a Content-Based Approach for Information Dissemination
(2019-01-03)NATO has identified the WS-Notification standard from OASIS to support event-driven communication in the NATO enterprise and when building coalition networks. Using this standard promotes interoperability. However, there ... -
Fighting on behalf of the state—the issue of pro-government militia autonomy in the Donbas war
(2019-01-04)This study investigates the degree of autonomy the Ukrainian volunteer battalions had from the regular forces during the war in Donbas. The findings indicate that the degree of autonomy was high and that in particular, ... -
Evaluation of safety distances for storage of explosive materials using a combination of thermochemical computations and CFD
(2019-01-14)A novel approach to calculating TNT equivalencies and safety distances for explosives, using a combination of thermochemical computations and computational fluid dynamics, is presented. This enables the estimation of safety ... -
Explosion characteristics for Li-ion battery electrolytes at elevated temperatures
(2019-01-28)Li-ion batteries are used in electronic devices and electric cars, yet they create safety concerns due to the possibility of the release of combustible materials. The electrolyte, one of the main components in a Li-ion ... -
Multiplex polymerase chain reaction detection of enteropathogens in sewage in Norway
(2019-03-04)The primary objective of this small-scale study was to investigate the occurrence of enteropathogens in sewage (municipal wastewater) in Norway using the commercially available FilmArray® multiplex polymerase chain reaction ... -
Intellectual disability associated with pyridoxine-responsive epilepsies: The need to protect cognitive development
(2019-03-08)Pyridoxine (vitamin B6)-responsive epilepsies are severe forms of epilepsy that manifest as seizures immediately after birth, sometimes in utero, sometimes months, or years after birth. Seizures may be treated efficiently ... -
Predicting acoustic dose associated with marine mammal behavioural responses to sound as detected with fixed acoustic recorders and satellite tags
(2019-03-08)To understand the consequences of underwater noise exposure for cetaceans, there is a need for assessments of behavioural responses over increased spatial and temporal scales. Bottom-moored acoustic recorders and satellite ... -
Northern bottlenose whales in a pristine environment respond strongly to close and distant navy sonar signals
(2019-03-20)Impact assessments for sonar operations typically use received sound levels to predict behavioural disturbance in marine mammals. However, there are indications that cetaceans may learn to associate exposures from distant ... -
Collision Avoidance for Underactuated Marine Vehicles Using the Constant Avoidance Angle Algorithm
(2019-03-21)Avoiding collisions is a crucial ability for unmanned vehicles. In this paper, we present the constant avoidance angle algorithm, a reactive method for collision avoidance. It can be used to avoid both static and moving ... -
Skandinavias første jihadister
(2019-03-22)Nyoppdagede primærkilder viser et skandinavisk innslag blant afghanaraberne i 1980-årene. Jihadismen i nord er antakelig eldre enn tidligere antatt. -
Computational analysis of shock-induced flow through stationary particle clouds
(2019-03-22)We investigate the shock-induced flow through random particle arrays using particle-resolved Large Eddy Simulations for different incident shock wave Mach numbers, particle volume fractions and particle sizes. We analyze ... -
Trust, ethnic diversity, and personal contact: A field experiment
(2019-03-22)We study how close personal contact with minorities affects in-group and out-group trust in a field experiment in the armed forces. Soldiers are randomly assigned to rooms with or without ethnic minorities. At the end of ... -
Ship tracking results from state-of-the-art space-based AIS receiver systems for maritime surveillance
(2019-04-11)Norway currently operates four satellites with Automatic Identification System (AIS) receivers. The first-generation satellites, AISSat-1 and AISSat-2, are equipped with a two-channel, single-antenna AIS receiver, while ... -
Linear motion of multiple superposed viscous fluids
(2019-04-16)In this paper the small-amplitude motion of multiple superposed viscous fluids is studied as a linearized initial-value problem. The analysis results in a closed set of equations for the Laplace transformed amplitudes of ... -
Ship-of-opportunity noise inversions for geoacoustic profiles of a layered mud-sand seabed
(2019-04-30)This paper considers the use of broadband noise from a ship-of-opportunity in statistical inference for estimating geoacoustic parameters of a layered mud-sand seabed model via trans-dimensional (trans-D) Bayesian matched-field ... -
Multi-phase performance evaluation for modern minehunting systems
(2019-05-10)Many NATO navies are in the process of replacing their dedicated minehunting vessels with systems of heterogeneous, unmanned modules. While traditional ship-based assets prosecute sonar contacts in sequence through to ... -
Simplified measurement of point spread functions of hyperspectral cameras for assessment of spatial coregistration
(2019-05-14)In multi- and hyperspectral imaging, spatial coregistration of the point spread functions (PSFs) of all bands within each pixel is critical for the integrity of measured spectra. There is a need to define a standardized ...
